Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of protective coverings, and, more particularly to a protective cover for lengths of material such as ropes, tethers, lanyards, etc. of the type that are likely to be subjected to continuous abrasion and/or exposure to undesirable environmental conditions or chemicals.
- Narrow bands of rigid materials have been developed for reducing the friction between a hose and an abrasive surface by placing the bands at regular intervals along the length of a hose; however, exposure of the unhanded surface area of these hoses to the elements and to chemicals continues to be problematic.
- the present invention is directed to a simple, yet effective, abrasion-resistant protective system for lengths of material such as hoses, cables, ropes, etc. of the type used in high abrasion applications.
- the present invention comprises a protective covering, or sleeve, having open ends to be fitted over substantially the entire surface area of the length of material to be protected.
- length of material refers to ropes, cables, hoses, conduit, and the like, regardless of material composition.
- rope includes, but is not limited to ropes, cords, braids, strands, tapes, lines, lanyards, tethers, halyards, etc., formed from either natural or synthetic materials, or both.
- the protective cover is constructed from a woven fabric formed primarily from high- strength (high performance) yams.
- high-strength yams refers to the entire family of ya s that have a tensile modulus equal to or greater than 150 grams/denier and a tenacity equal to or greater than 7 grams/denier.
- high strength yams may be formed from long chain polyethylene fibers (known as SPECTRA®), aramids such as KEVLAR® (Dupont), liquid crystal polymers such as VECTRAN® (Hoechst Celanese), or combinations thereof.
- SPECTRA® long chain polyethylene fibers
- aramids such as KEVLAR® (Dupont)
- liquid crystal polymers such as VECTRAN® (Hoechst Celanese)
- the preferred yam for the fabric is available from suppliers, such as Allied Signal, under the tradename SPECTRA®.
- the protective cover is constructed as a sleeve that may be easily and quickly installed over an existing cable or hose, and just as quickly and easily removed or replaced. Accordingly, the protective cover is initially formed a length of abrasion-resistant fabric with attaching elements along opposed edges.
- the length of fabric is dimensioned so that the width of the fabric sheet is slightly greater than the circumference of the cable or hose with which the sleeve is intended for use, and the length of the fabric sheet approximates the total length of cable or hose to be protected.
- the fabric is a woven single layer with a preferred weight of between about 5 and 8 ounces per square yard; however, the cover is not weight limited.
- the warp and fill yams are of a weight in the range of 400 to 1 ,000 denier with warp and fill picks of 30 to 36 yams per inch each.
- this single fabric layer is designed to provide a fabric that is extremely lightweight and flexible, while also providing sufficient strength and long-lasting durability to withstand the use and environment to which a cable and hose cover is exposed in the referenced applications. While not required for abrasion-resistance, a lightweight coating or lamination is provided on the outer surface of the protective cover to enhance the penetration resistance of the fabric by fluids, chemicals, and particulate matter where such additional protection is desired. It has been found that a thermoplastic film of polyethylene or ethylene vinyl acetate suitably bonds to fabrics formed from high-strength yams, including SPECTRA®. Means for fastening the length of fabric and holding it in place are affixed along the opposed longitudinal edges of the fabric length.
- the sleeve so formed may be easily installed or removed (in the case of replacement) from cables or hoses without the need for disconnecting or disassembling the hoses or cables from their installed applications.
- the protective cover of the present invention may be easily fitted over a hose or electrical cable that is presently in service without having to dismpt operations by uncoupling the hose or cable or removing the fittings therefrom.
- the fasteners preferred for this application are hook and loop strips that allow the sleeve to be completely closed along its entire length. Hook and loop fastening strips are most commonly available under the trademark VELCRO® . To ensure extra holding capability, either multiple strips may be used or wider strips may be affixed to the edges of the length of fabric. Alternatively, other fasteners such as snaps, ties, and the like could be used.
- Another embodiment of the present invention is in the form of short lengths of protective coverlets constructed from the fabric described above.
- a series of spaced apart narrow coverlets, or protective bands may be wrapped around the cable or hose at selected intervals and fastened as described above.
- a further embodiment of the present invention is directed to an abrasion-resistant cable or hose construction in which a permanently affixed outer protective layer, formed substantially from high strength yams.
- the outer layer may be either adhered to the hose or cable with adhesives or cement that are resistant to chemical attack, or the fabric may be imbedded or impregnated into the outer surface of the cable or hose during the manufacture thereof.
- the present invention in addition to covering materials such as cables and hoses, the present invention, as described herein, can be used to cover a wide spectrum of other lengths of material.
- mooring lines used in the maritime industry require frequent replacement due to constant abrasion and exposure.
- Other tethers and fastening lengths used in constraction, on heavy equipment, and any other source of exposure and/or abrasion will benefit from the protection offered by the protective cover of the present invention.
- the resistance that the protective cover of the present invention has to chemical exposure and ultraviolet radiation makes it attractive for covering literally any type of material length.
- the protective cover of the present invention has applicability.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a protective cover form from a fabric of high- performance yams
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of a protective cover with reclosable fasteners affixed along opposed longitudinal edges;
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of the protective cover of Figure 1 or 2 with an optional end hood;
- Figure 4 is a perspective view of spaced-apart protective coverlets constructed in accordance with the present invention
- Figure 5a is an end view of an abrasion-resistant cable having an outer layer of fabric formed from high-performance yarns;
- Figure 5b is an end view of an abrasion-resistant hose having an outer layer of fabric formed from high-performance yams.
- one aspect of the present invention is directed to a a simple, yet effective, abrasion-resistant protective system for lengths of material such as hoses, cables, ropes, etc. of the type used in high abrasion applications, such as the airline industry.
- die protective cover comprises a sleeve having an outer surface 12, an inner surface 14, and open ends 15, 17.
- Protective cover 10 is formed from a singular length of woven fabric with a single layer that is sewn together along longitudinal edges to form a seam 1 .
- the fabric used to form the abrasion-resistant and cut-resistant protective cover is woven from high-strength yams.
- high strength yams means yarns formed from fibers having a tensile modulus equal to or greater than 150 grams/denier and a tenacity equal to or greater than 7 grams/denier.
- the yams used to form the woven sheet are formed from long chain polyethylene fibers available from suppliers, such as Allied Signal, under the trademark SPECTRA®.
- Other acceptable yams may be formed from aramids, such as KEVLAR® or liquid crystal polymers, such as VECTRAN®.
- Fabric so formed from SPECTRA® has a high level of tear-resistance, abrasion-resistance, cut-and-puncture-resistance, resistance to low temperatures, and resistance to chemicals such as aviation fuel and oils. It also retains its durability after prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Additionally, the fabric is only about 1/3 the weight of conventional fabrics like nylon and polyester.
- protective cover 20 is constructed as a wrap.
- the wrap is formed as an elongated sheet having an outer surface 22 and an inner surface 24, opposed longitudinal edges 26, 28, and opposed ends 27, 29.
- the woven fabric sheet is a single layer with a preferred weight between about 5 and 8 ounces per square yard. Hems are sewn into the edges 26, 28 and ends 27, 29 to prevent raveling thereof.
- the warp and fill yams are desirably in the range of between about 400 and 1,000 denier and the warp and fill picks are in the range of about 30 to 36 yams per inch each. However, the range of possible deniers and picks per inch are not limited thereto.
- a lighter or heavier fabric having a more open or more closed weave may be selected to construct a protective cover for a specialized application.
- the fabric need not be formed from a single yam.
- the fabric may be formed with a blend of yams comprising up to 30% KEVLAR® with the SPECTRA® constraction. That is, blended yams formed from up to about 30% of such high-strength fibers, or in the alternative, up to about 30% of the yam ends being formed entirely from high-strength filaments, would provide an acceptable combination.
- SPECTRA® and KEVLAR® has been found quite effective in reducing creep. Additionally, where cost is a key factor and susceptibility to wear less severe, small percentages of more conventional yams such as polyester and nylon may be substituted. As would be expected, the resistance characteristics described hereinab ⁇ ve will be reduced in such constructions. As those skilled in the art will also appreciate, the fabric of the present invention may also be knitted or formed in other ways that are conventional and known in the textile arts. To provide an additional level of wear resistance and to further enhance fluid or particulate penetration resistance of the fabric construction, a lightweight coating, or lamination 30, is applied on the outer surface 22.
- thermoplastic film of polyethylene or ethylene vinyl acetate suitably bonds to fabrics formed from high- performance yams, including SPECTRA®.
- lamination 30 is described in detail in co-pending Application Serial No. 08/957,431 , incorporated by reference herein. While not required, lamination may also be applied to inner surface 24 as an additional measure of penetration resistance.
- fasteners are provided along the opposed longitudinal edges 26, 28.
- narrow strips of hook 32 and loop 36 fasteners are affixed to opposed edges 26 and 28. These fastening strips are designed to engage one another along the entire surface area of contact between the strips, and are commercially available and widely known under the tradename VELCRO®.
- hook strips 32 are affixed to both sides of the woven sheet.
- loop strips 36 are affixed to separate narrow flaps 38a, 38b that are joined at a seam along edge 28. This doubles the fastening capability of single strips of hook and loop material.
- hood 52 is formed of the same material as cover 20 and is desirably formed from a single piece of material; however, it may be formed from multiple pieces mat are sewn together along multiple seams.
- Hood 52 is intended to protect the exposed ends of cables or hoses when they are not in use to prevent damage to those exposed ends and to prevent infiltration by contaminants.
- hood 52 may be secured to cover 20 with VELCRO® material in a manner similar to the fasteners described hereinabove.
- Hood strips 34 may be affixed to either or both ends of the elongated sheet.
- a loop strip 54 may be affixed around the inside periphery of hood 52.
- hood 52 may be affixed by other means known in the art or simply formed to be snugly fitted over the exposed end with elastic bands or the like.
- another aspect of the present invention is to provide protective coverlets 84, or bands, that may be wrapped around hoses or cables 82 at spaced-apart intervals.
- coverlets 84 would be most appropriate for applications where exposure to chemicals, weather, and ultraviolet radiation are not a concern.
- the distance between coverlets shown as 'X', may be shorter or longer.
- Coverlets 84 also offer the user the option of placing them at critical abrasion points based on wear history, etc. Coverlets 84 are formed in the same manner and from the same material as the elongated sheet in Figure 2.
- a further aspect of the present invention is to provide an abrasion-resistant electrical cable 60 or fuel hose 70, having a protective layer permanently affixed thereto.
- a protective layer permanently affixed thereto.
- conductive material 62 such as copper or the like
- insulating layer 64 such as rubber or insulating plastic. So formed, this is simply a conventional electrical cable well known in the art and widely used commercially without any further modifications thereof.
- an outer protective layer 66 formed from the woven fabric described hereinabove is permanently affixed to the intermediate insulating layer 64. The entire surface are of cable 60 is thus covered with the abrasion-resistant material.
- Outer layer 66 may be cemented or glued with commercial-grade adhesives known in the art. Alternatively, outer layer 66 may be pressed or impregnated into the outer surface of layer 64 using techniques well known to those in the art.
- fuel hose 70 shown in Figure 5b is formed from a substantially impermeable resilient material 72, such as rubber, resulting in a hollow core.
- the outer layer 74 of abrasion-resistant material may be affixed atop layer 72 in the same fashion that it is affixed to cable 60.
- the present invention can be used to cover a wide spectrum of other lengths of material, such as ropes, cables, mooring lines used in the maritime industry, tethers, lanyards, fastening lengths, etc. used in constraction, on heavy equipment, and any other source of exposure and/or abrasion regardless of how the particular length of material is to be used.
- the resistance that the protective cover of the present invention has to chemical exposure and ultraviolet radiation makes it attractive for covering literally any type of material length.
- the protective cover of the present invention has applicability.
